Discharge12200 cfs (median: 10500 cfs)High - The river is high and potentially dangerous, especially for the young and / or inexperienced. Normal stream obstacles are sometimes difficult to navigate. Extended distances can be attempted, but canoe travel may not be advisable.High(none)(none)
Height8.55 feetGood - Conditions are ideal for a canoe or kayak. Boats typically will drag on fewer than one-quarter of riffles, if at all, and portages are unnecessary or rare. Normal float lengths can be attempted without a problem.Good(none)(none)
TrendRising (rising over 24 hours)Low - River is low but can still be floated. Some riffles are okay but most come with significant dragging and might need a portage. Float lengths should be reduced to accommodate low flow, dragging, and portages.Low(none)(none)

Heading up stream was rather easy but working against the wind and current. Headed under the bridge and made a right down Butler Creek. When the water is up Butler is accessible to 1.5 - 2 miles back and is very scenic.Heading up stream was rather easy but working against the wind and current.
